Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin watched the students fawn over him, shaking his head in resignation.
"You all need to put that down quickly. What this guy said is true, not just talk."
Zhou Lin quickly explained.
The mercenaries nearby heard this and acted first, rescuing the object from the students' hands.
This fleshy thing was continuously releasing its rage.
Then, its body began to grow, its aura vastly different from before.
The students watched in stunned silence as a plump, adorable infant transformed into a ferocious ghoul. Its flesh began to pile up, occasionally bubbling.
The students instinctively took a few steps back, their affection replaced by terror.
"Damn it, did it just transform? How did they think this thing was cute?"
"Are they all crazy?"
"How dare you disrespect me? I'll kill you."
After the Meng Gui spoke, its flesh began to spread, becoming much larger than its previous form.
It desperately wanted to devour all these students.
The students fled in disarray. Just as they were about to leave, Zhou Lin stopped them.
"Why are you running? Didn't you say it was cute? Don't you want to see what's inside?"
Zhou Lin smiled faintly at them.
"Professor... what are you talking about?"
One of the students looked at them in astonishment.
Before he could finish speaking, the fleshy mass behind them had already caught up, enveloping all the students.
Inside, there was a lot of liquid. Many students found it difficult to breathe, and their vision began to blur.
Finally, their eyes went black, and they completely fainted.
As they closed their eyes, their faces were etched with pain.
They looked as if they were asleep, but their sleep was far from peaceful.
Seeing this, Zhou Lin instinctively protected the mercenaries and the professor with a jelly shield.
"Zhou Lin, what about those students? Will they be alright?"
The metaphysics professor was most concerned about the students, and also about Zhou Lin. Why didn't he let them leave?
Watching them get captured, wasn't that too much?
"They'll be fine."
Zhou Lin looked at the metaphysics professor with certainty, then glanced at the approaching flesh mass. It was blocked by the jelly shield, and neither side could get close.
"Are you really sure they'll be alright?"
Captain Bai still asked, unconvinced, especially after witnessing what had just happened.
"They'll be fine, you can rest assured."
Zhou Lin was very confident. He then watched as the Meng Gui continued to expand, leaving only the area where they stood unconsumed.
Inside the live stream.
"Holy crap, I told you this thing wasn't to be trifled with, but you didn't believe me. Now you see it, right? What's going on here? You see it now?"
"But why didn't the big shot save the students? Will they suffocate?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? As long as the big shot is here, they'll be fine. Stop worrying."
"But I want to know what to do next. This thing has filled the entire space. Isn't that very dangerous?"
"It should be very dangerous, but the big shot is here. If he says it's fine, then it's fine."
"I've already calculated. Even if these students wanted to run, they couldn't. It's better to be captured directly and reduce their suffering."
...
In the dean's conference room.
"Holy crap, what is Zhou Lin doing? How could he do that? Doesn't he know the consequences?"
Professor Hu didn't understand Zhou Lin's actions. Why didn't he let the children leave?
"It's probably to teach them a lesson."
The dean seemed to understand Zhou Lin's actions somewhat.
"How should I put it? Is this the right way to teach them a lesson?"
Professor Wen also saw it but found it difficult to say directly, only feeling that the action was a bit excessive.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Zhou Lin already said that it's very dangerous here, but they didn't believe him. Sometimes, you have to experience it yourself to understand the danger."
"This is also good. Otherwise, when they become professors and experts in the future, they will know the dangers of entering tombs and can lead by example."
The dean felt that this educational meaning was very good and interesting.
Inside the tomb.
"What do we do now? If this continues, we'll be surrounded. Does this thing fear anything?"
Guo Liang looked at Zhou Lin, seeking help.
"I'll handle it later. Don't be nervous."
Zhou Lin then looked at the electronic page in his mind.
"Any recommendations?"
Zhou Lin then looked at the items appearing on the page.
It was a dream humidifier.
Reading the instructions, Zhou Lin was speechless.
If the Meng Gui was the source of nightmares in dreams, then this was the source of sweet dreams.
But how was this thing used?
"Damn it, do you think I'm an all-around artist who can knit scarves? What a joke!"
The urn Zhou Lin made last time was already a handful, and now this, requiring him to knit a scarf.
[Host, this skill can be exchanged for points.]
The system kindly recommended another option, making Zhou Lin furious.
These were all profiteers, absolute profiteers.
He had gained a bunch of points again.
"Exchange, exchange, can I not exchange it?"
Zhou Lin had no choice but to exchange it.
The metaphysics professor looked at Zhou Lin's unnatural expression and asked, confused.
"What's wrong? Is this very tricky?"
The metaphysics professor came back to his senses upon hearing the voice.
This wasn't the time to talk about it. They needed to leave quickly.
Time was running out.
Zhou Lin turned on the dream humidifier, and golden energy began to rise. Zhou Lin then took these things out and started to weave them with his hands.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They watched as a humidifier emitted golden energy, and that was fine. But the air could turn into threads.
And these threads could be used to weave things.
No, could this thing be used like this?
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me finish these things so I can finish faster. Otherwise, these students will all die in their dreams."
Zhou Lin urged the people around him.
The metaphysics professor, Guo Liang, Captain Bai, and the others heard him and quickly stepped forward to help.
Inside the live stream.
"Whoa, what treasure did this big shot take out? It can be used like this. This is a matter of life and death!"
"But this thing is really amazing. I really like it. I'm watching the big shot's skilled movements, weaving a net with just his fingers. It's truly incredible."
